Foreign Trade Zones

Nope. They’re here. They’re everywhere. They’re in all fifty states. My state, Idaho, has at least one, up in Boundary County, and a really big one is reportedly being set up right now, near Boise. 30,000 acres. The land inside these foreign trade zones is no longer American land. It’s sovereign foreign territory.

I called the Boundary County Commissioner’s office up north to get some official version, because a commissioner there named Ronald Smith is the contact man for FTZ 242. The reader can do the same thing in his or her FTZ.

Most of the top Fortune 100 companies are in these zones, even though they’re “American.”

Here’s some Ray Bradbury-style material from FTZ 9, in Hawaii:

Really, it’s like something out of FARENHEIT 451.

Here’s the information many of us received yesterday, edited somewhat:

”This is an urgent message! Read this and spread the word! Subject: Foreign Trade Zones. This is unbelievable at first, but you will soon realize that there are several motives for the global communists to physically weave our United States territory together with communist China. Read On! Here’s what is going on!
Each and every one of our state governors has approved and allocated a certain amount of acres of their U.S. state land to be inhabited by Chinese communists –communists straight from China! They are to set up little towns and live here, supposedly for the purpose of producing Chinese products for sale in the U.S.A. The land the states are giving them for their little towns will be considered “foreign territory”!!! We are told that the laws of the state (in which these Chinese communists dwell) will apply to the communist Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ). Comment: If so, why are they allowed in here!??! Isn’t the whole set up unlawful??? There are 257 of these little communist towns to be built all over the United States. Go to this website and see the list of the states, and how many FTZ’s are to be erected in each and every state! Our nation is being peppered all over with these communist closed towns called “zones”! This insane brainstorm by Washington, D.C. officials was just recently discovered by alert citizens in the State of Idaho, where an FTZ is being built there, just south of Boise, Idaho, possibly 30,000 acres of Idaho is going to be used for that FTZ. Check this site quickly before it is removed:

http://ia.ita.doc.gov/ftzpage/letters/ftzlist-map.html

When you get to this website, be prepared by having enough paper to print 40 pages, listing all the FTZ’s to be built over the whole United States! 257 of these FTZ’s! It is absolute insanity!! How gullible are we??? The excuse given for creating communist towns all over our nation is that these Chinese people will produce products for sale in the United States, and the FTZ will eliminate overseas shipping costs of the products they create! A bizarre excuse!!! Can’t we manufacture our own products anymore with American workers? How foolish are we to allow this??? Remember the hard-learned lesson taught to gullible people back in ancient times, when the Trojan Horse was built and they pulled it past their protective gates??? Do we Americans look THAT STUPID to the Chinese and to our Washington,D.C. leaders???

It will not mean jobs for Americans. All the help will be Chinese! Besides, it is to be classed as “foreign territory”, remember! You won’t know what is really going on inside the enclave. Is there any danger for Americans to allow this? What do you think?”

The reader may have noticed that the things I write about usually have to do with some sort of revisionist history. My usual purpose is to put a different slant on what happened to justify the drastic sort of action I’m known for advocating. I generally don’t write about really current things because I’m kind of a slow learner and I want to try to understand what actually happened before I comment on it, especially if I’m suggesting drastic action because of it. For example, Gordon Duff was able to look at Wiki-leaks and identify it as an intelligence deception back in October, which still amazes me. If it weren’t for his provocative and extremely accurate warnings, I would still be in the dark.

But this Foreign Trade Zone business is so bad that even I can comment without having to think about it too much. I don’t claim yet to understand it but there’s no denying it exists. Just do a search on Foreign Trade Zones and see what you get. I’m not sure about the Chinese part.

Now, not to be hypocritical, but this is kind of what I was trying to do back in ’71, when I was sent to British Honduras, South Africa and Rhodesia, to set up a trade zone that was exempt from taxes. The idea was to bring productive people to the new country, a free port, who would improve people’s lives through trade and increased employment and allow Americans and others to escape the punitive taxation that was robbing them blind and putting them out of business.

This thing, however, is different. What they admit to is that corporations producing whatever they produce can manufacture and export products tax-free, but if the products made in the FTZs are sold in the US, taxes are paid! By us! It’s like a reverse tariff! Americans are punished for being Americans but foreigners get a free ride. And “American” corporations get a free ride. This article claims that all the workers in the FTZs are going to be Chinese, which I find hard to believe. That remains to be seen, and I will find out from Mr. Smith up north about that.

One thing is pretty clear from all the official literature online and that is the FTZs are autonomous territories, exempt from CBP, which is Customs and Border Protection. That means they’ve got their own police forces, their own laws. If foreigners ARE brought in to do the work, no matter where they’re from, these FTZs will become, sooner or later, swollen with low-paid workers from who knows where, resembling the maquiladora factories along the Mexican border. Here’s what that means (from Wikipedia):

“A maquiladora or maquila is a concept often referred to an operation that involves manufacturing in a country that is not the client’s and as such has an interesting duty or tariff treatment. It normally requires a factory, that may import materials and equipment on a duty-free and tariff-free basis for assembly or manufacturing and then ‘re-exports’ the assembled or manufactured product, sometimes back to the originating country. A maquila is also referred to as a ‘twin plant,’ or ‘in-bond’ industry. The principal examples of this sort of operation occur in Latin America, but also occur in other countries in the world, that have adequate legislation. Currently about 1.3 million Mexicans are employed in maquiladoras.”

A maquiladora is an FTZ. So that’s what this is, 257 maquiladoras in all fifty states. They’re designed to make the corporation a lot of money by employing poor people and keeping them poor. Kind of like Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart is Red China’s main outlet for slave-made goods.

The purpose of World War II in the Pacific, it turns out, was exactly what we have today. The Council on Foreign Relations wanted Mao Tse-Tung to become the leader of China. Japan interfered with this plan by invading and occupying Manchuria in the 1930s, and by occupying much of China itself. So Japan had to be destroyed and prevented from ever interfering with the Rothschild/Rockefeller plan to communize China and turn it into the perfect industrial slave state.

The CFR supported the anti-Communist Chinese Nationalists under Chiang Kai-shek through the war, but kept demanding that Chiang join forces with his deadly enemies, the Communists. At war’s end, Chiang’s forces were disarmed by George Marshall and all the captured Japanese weapons were given to the Communists. Defenseless against the heavily armed Reds, the Nationalists were forced out of China to the island of Formosa, which became Taiwan.

On the mainland, the Communists, agents of the Council on Foreign Relations, began slaughtering their own people, people whom Communists called landlords, exploiters but whom we would call “middle-class.” People who had gone to school beyond the 2nd grade. The US Congress reported in 1964 that Mao Tse-Tung had murdered 64,000,000 Chinese. The survivors were mind-controlled zombies, paralyzed by twenty years of state terror. Eight years later, the CFR sent its agent, President Richard Nixon, to Beijing to toast Mao Tse-Tung and signal US corporations that it was time to begin the transfer of American industry to China.

Wal-Mart is the end product of America’s war in the Pacific and the CFR’s population reduction program in China.

Anyway, here’s what I’ve discovered about our own FTZ 242, which again, is located up on the Canadian border around Eastport, Idaho. However, FTZ 242 is spreading out! As you can see in this website

http://ia.ita.doc.gov/Ftzpage/orders/ord1616-1700.html

there is Order No. 1640…

Order No. 1640, August 5, 2009 (Docket 53-2008)
Approved, with restrictions, the application of Boundary County, Idaho, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 242, to establish Subzone 242A at the manufacturing facility of Hoku Materials, Inc. in Pocatello, Idaho. Signed by Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate Chairman of the Board (74 F.R. 41382; August 17, 2009).

That is, there’s a new Hoku factory in Pocatello, down here in the southern part of the state, that manufactures polysilicon for use in solar panels. This polysilicon is mined here and manufactured here but shipped to China for the manufacture of solar panels to be sold through Hoku in Hawaii. Hoku is owned by Baoding Tianwei Group in China.

So, even though the Foreign Trade Zone 242 is way up north on the Canadian line, this polysilicon factory here in Pocatello is ALSO Foreign Trade Sub-Zone 242A, also considered foreign, sovereign territory. The material is, again, sent out of the country for the profit of the Communist Party of China .

Mr. Smith has not returned my calls to his office in Boundary County but I did get some preliminary information from his office staff, who say they do not know how big FTZ 242 is but that nothing much is going on up there. No, what’s going on is happening down here in Subzone 242A, at the Hoku plant in Pocatello, for now.

And this is just one of 257 FTZs in this country.

It has been reported for years that the Chinese Army has a plan to wipe out Americans and bring Chinese soldiers and slave workers to this country and take it over. Nothing we’re now seeing with these outrageous Foreign Trade Zones makes me think that this “wild rumor” is so wild. I can’t say that the report yesterday that prompted this hasty investigation is true with regard to all FTZs being Chinese. But the one here in Idaho definitely is.

There is no proof in any of these links or anything else that foreigners are being brought in here. It looks as if it has more to do with companies being able to avoid or reduce tariffs.

This is outrageous. I think the last paragraph of the article sums up my concerns as well. Now that the physical assets of our nation have been pledged as collateral to secure Chinese loans, what better way to foreclose on us when we inevitably default. ‘Red Dawn’ here we come.
